MARCH 2025
March is said to come in as a lion and go out as a lamb. This March will be roaring from beginning to end. Venus turns retrograde on March 1. She travels backwards from 10 Aries to 24 Pisces when she goes direct on April 12. Mercury joins her in retrograde land on March 15. He moves from 9 degrees of Aries to 26 Pisces, going direct on April 6. There is a Lunar Eclipse on March 14 at 24 Virgo. The Solar Eclipse follows on March 29 at 9 degrees of Aries. The span from 26 Pisces to 9 Aries is a hot area in your chart where you will be asked to make reviews and revamping. Neptune enters Aries on March 30. The last time Neptune was in Aries was from 1861 to 1875. This era was marked by the American Civil War, which began in 1861, symbolizing a fight for freedom and new beginnings—key themes of Aries.
March 1 – Moon in Aries. The Moon and Venus hold hands while she waits until the end of the day to turn retrograde. You feel the frustration of this standing still energy since you want to be out getting things done. Spend extra time at the gym or on the trail to use up excess energy. Don’t let your anxious feelings turn into anger.
March 2 – Moon in Aries. Your mind is full of visions and fantasies. Write poetry or sketch them out so you can remember them. The Sun and Jupiter challenge you to travel to mythical, mystical places and bring back images that are healing. Be alert to the omens around you so you don’t miss the messages. Do some creative spacing out.
March 3 – Moon in Taurus. Mercury moves into Aries and your mind becomes sharper. You’ll feel the fog lifting and can address issues straight on. Venus, ruler of today’s Moon, asks you to make the necessary adjustments to navigate her journey into the past. Examine how you spend your money and change your priorities for the next six weeks.
March 4 – Moon in Taurus. There’s a feeling of serenity that influences the day. You can relax, be calm, and enjoy the wonderful world of the senses. It’s a fertile day to start planting inside, outside, and in your mind. Check out the thrift stores for bargains. Look in your cellar and attic for objects you can sell to someone who will value them.
March 5 – Moon in Gemini. Take care of all your correspondence, bill paying, and negotiations with fuel, electricity, and insurance companies. Upgrade your phone, computer system and software.

March 6 – Moon in Gemini. Send out applications for work, internships, grants, or study programs. Make outlines for your written or speaking projects. Contact friends and hear what’s going on in their lives. Order the books and research materials you need this month. It’s a hard day to stay on track so forgive yourself for being scattered.
March 7 – Moon in Cancer. Take inventory of your pantry, medicine cabinets, and closets to see what you can use up to prevent buying anything right now. It’s a fertile day to plant new seeds. Let your intuition tell you what you need to do today. Listen to friends and family who are in distress and need a friendly ear and a comforting pat on the back.
March 8 – Moon in Cancer. The past infiltrates the present and you find yourself lost in reverie about what was. Go through photo albums and boxes of souvenirs to get rid of what isn’t useful. You have the energy to nurture, nourish, and care for those who need you. Cook your favorite recipes and feed your family and friends. It’s a good night for a potluck supper.
March 9 – Moon in Cancer. We move to DST at 2 am. It feels like a mini-jetlag adjusting to the time change so have an easy day. Pamper yourself in ways that work for you. Forget the diet and eat what you want . Take a walk by the closest body of water and get lost watching the movement and listening to the rhythms. Meditate on the ocean of bliss.
March 10 – Moon in Leo. It’s getting close to when Mercury will go retrograde and you can already feel that energy. You can stock up on what you need to get, put in some orders, and schedule appointments, knowing that it all may change. It’s a day to have fun with your kids and loved ones. If you’re single, get out where you can meet someone special.
March 11 – Moon in Leo. Have a talk with your partner about the wrinkles in the relationship and which of them you can iron out. You’ll be able to say what you want in a loving way. You have high creative energy as long as you can do things your way. Don’t be surprised if you hear from an old lover or old friend whom you love. Stay positive.
March 12 – Moon in Virgo. The Sun and Saturn have their annual day of reckoning. You will lose your illusions and see the truth. Intuit how to fix what is broken and understand what kind of help you need. You will have to go back to step one on some matters if your foundation has leaks. Let your spirit guides help you when you feel sad or overwhelmed.
March 13 – Moon in Virgo. The energy is withdrawing like the tide before a tsunami. We are in the orb of tomorrow’s eclipse. Focus on clearing out the clutter around you. Recycle, throw stuff away, take things to the thrift store. Eliminate the things that block you from being efficient. It’s a clear-the-decks and batten-down-the-hatches kind of day.
March 14 – Moon in Virgo/Libra. Today’s Lunar Eclipse is heavy energy because Saturn is connected. Something in your life will be blotted out. Stay safe when you are engaged in physical activities. Mercury is motionless and ready to change directions tomorrow. Quiet your mind, be still, and feel the mystery and magic of the other world. It is an auspicious time for meditating.
March 15 – Moon in Libra. Mercury will be retrograde when you wake up. He’s gone off to meet Venus in their favorite vacation spot. It feels confusing and you don’t know which way to go or what to think. Relax and be soothed by art, beauty, and optimistic thoughts. Join an informal social gathering. Talk with friends you haven’t seen in a while.
March 16 – Moon in Libra. You need a lazy Sunday after all the turmoil of the past week. Rest, nap, waste time, to relieve built up stress. Do something easy and calming with your partner or a friend. Plan a flower garden. Buy a flowering plant to light up your home. Think about your relationship issues but leave the confrontation for another day.
March 17 – Moon in Scorpio. Review, reflect, and reconsider all that has happened since the beginning of the year. You can take a deep dive into your feelings and let go of the old gook that’s clogging your emotional state. Try to see what is over and where you’re hanging on to what you don’t need and where you have unfinished business. Meditate and pray.
March 18 – Moon in Scorpio. Listen to your intuition when it tells you to look up someone from your past. You don’t have to contact them, sometimes the memories are enough. This is a bad time to make any changes to your finances or make big-ticket purchases. It is a good time to reevaluate how you spend your money. Don’t let negative emotions have a say.
March 19 – Moon in Scorpio. This is the last day of Pisces, the end of the zodiacal year. The Sun meets up with Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, enhancing your psychic powers and intuitive abilities. It’s a very right brain day but you don’t want to act on the knowledge you receive. Store it to use later. Enjoy the confusion and do some wandering without a plan or a map.
March 20 – Moon in Sagittarius. The Sun enters Aries at 5:01 am EDT. It’s the Spring Equinox and also International Astrology Day. It’s a new year when you get a fresh start. Set goals, intentions, and make New Year’s resolutions. The energy is fiery and it’s hard to hold back. Anything you do start today won’t end up the way you envisioned.
March 21 – Moon in Sagittarius. The element of fire with its vitality and spark rules the day. Do the minimum of work that must be done so that you can feel free to roam and explore. Go back to places you haven’t been to in a long time, participate in a sport you gave up, and pull books off the shelves that you want to reread.
March 22 – Moon in Capricorn. Obligations are standing in the way of what you desire. It’s a challenge to fulfill your needs and be available and responsible to others.

March 23 – Moon in Capricorn. Look at your things-to-do list and pick a few items that are at the bottom of the list. Work on the old projects that you’ve been avoiding. It will feel good to get them finished. You have insight into how to change your routine and schedule to make your work, and life, more efficient. You can make subtle changes.
March 24 – Moon in Aquarius. The Sun and Mercury meet and they give you the opportunity to take a different look at yourself. It’s a good day to do some brainstorming and have many minds catch the new ideas Mercury bestows on you and your group. Think of how to make things better for everyone and what is a way to do that.
March 25 – Moon in Aquarius. You can detach from your worries about love and money today and find respite in the world of the mind. Study a topic that interests you but about which you know very little. Find an expert in the field who can discuss or correspond about the matter. Get lost in the Internet and listen and watch what people say.
March 26 – Moon in Aquarius/Pisces. This is the last day of the week when your mind is relatively sharp. Take care of the linear, left brain matters that must be done. Do it in the first part of the day. The rest of the week is good for artistic projects, redecorating, and spiritual pursuits. The afternoon is prime time for counseling and trying to heal ancient wounds.
March 27 – Moon in Pisces. Venus returns to Pisces and gives Neptune a big hug. She tells him what to expect on Sunday when he moves into Aries. For now, they cuddle and give you pleasant dreams, both the day and night kind, and send you otherworldly messages. You are looking at the world through rose colored glasses and enjoying the illusions.
March 28 – Moon in Pisces. You drift deeper into reverie and the dreamstate. Don’t try to get much done since we are feeling tomorrow’s eclipse. Relax, listen to music, meditate, coast on the tides of the day. Remember the pleasant time with old loves. Watch out for scams since you want to believe everyone. Do a personal ritual tonight in the dark of the Moon.
March 29 – Moon in Aries. Unless you are on the east coast of the USA and get up early, you won’t see today’s eclipse, but you will feel its energy. You get a boost of confidence and self-esteem. Pay attention when driving, using tools, and handling flammable materials. Mercury joins Venus in Pisces and they give Neptune a going away party.
March 30 – Moon in Aries/Taurus. Neptune takes a deep breath and leaves the comfort of his watery home to move into Aries. This takes him far outside his comfort zone and he will rock the energy around him for a while. Everything feels different. You will encounter frustration when you feel the urge to move ahead with new ideas and projects but get stymied by the retrograde planets.
March 31 – Moon in Taurus. Find ways to center yourself. You need to stay grounded to digest the turmoil of the past month. Let nature be your remedy. Take a walk in the woods, plant seeds that can go in now (like peas), move your houseplants into bigger pots so you can put your hands in the earth. Listen to music that evokes happy memories.
